Special town pick up for water damaged items at the curb tomorrow. Everything had to be curb side before 6 am. So today was a major de-clutter day.

The roofer began the slate repair today -- hopefully my bedroom will no longer leak. I've gotten a claim number,and a promise of a call from an adjuster, but they are really swamped. the previous guy who did slate repair for me obviously cut corners, the new contractor has explained why the replaced slate has all fallen... copper brackets(too soft) nailed not screwed, cut about half required length.... and slightly too narrow.... I'm not a roofer, but the work today is much prettier. I'm trying not to remember how much I paid the very nice Irishmen who previously fixed my roof.

I'm almost done with the piles of soggies the end is in sight. My yard no longer resembles a bombing at a yard sale.

I have a diocese wide teacher training to put together for next Saturday so next week will be all out at work... obviously nothing I planned to do this week got done.
